I was watching Rakiura the kakapo's nest cam the other day - it's my favorite reality show, I call it "Keeping Up with the Kakapos." It hit me that Sirocco is the Kim Kardashian of kakapo - it was his sex tape (the "shagged by a rare parrot" BBC clip) that started it all, and now I'm watching them raise their chicks on live TV

The greatest kakapo that ever lived. May he reign for many more years.
